Can't seem to find the edit button on my previous post - must be blind (hope not) :wink:

Here is my update to previous post:

Eligibility criteria: Married to BC 3 years, including 1 year ILR
Language criteria met: Life in the UK + Educated in the United States (university degree (diplomas) for Bachelors & MBA)
Current nationality: Ukrainian
Method of application: NCS Islington
Date of application: 01/09/2014
Payment method: Credit Card
Date of receipt by UKBA: 02/09/2014 (DX secure)
Date of acknowledgment: 10/09/2014 (letter dated 05/09/2014)
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 08/09/2014
Date approval received: Waiting
Date of ceremony: Waiting

I probably won't be updating this for a while since NCS said I should expect to wait at least 4 months before I hear anything after the acknowledgement... Good luck to all!

Application Timeline
Eligibility criteria: 5yr + 1yr ILR
Method of application: Immigration Solicitor Check and Send (Scotland)
Date of application and supporting document posting via special delivery: 02 september 2014
Date of receipt by UKBA: waiting
Date of debit of fees: waiting
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: waiting
Date of receipt of approval: waiting
Date of Ceremony: waiting

I called my bankers today (11/09/2014) to confirm if there has been an attempt for the fees (906) being debitted from my account and they confirmed to it. I formally gave them the clearaance to see the payment through because I was expecting the fees to have been deducted from my account after 8days of sending my application. Already having goose pimples on these delays as I understand that the turn around period for approval is in the region of 4month plus?

Hello All,
If you used NCS to apply for naturalisation, do you still have to send your passport with your naturalisation application?

No you don't.
They'll copy your passport and give you the original back. You have to take your passport/s and original documents with you when you for your appointment though.

How did you manage to get acknowledgement via email? was it a special request or did they just sent you one?

Didn't request it. Just got an e-mail today acknowledging that they had received the application and processed the fee. Also gave me the case reference number. I understand that this same acknowledgement letter is also sent via post.

It's good if they have actually started using 20 years old technology to speed things up :-)
Haven't checked my email today so don't know if they sent me one or not, but wife has told me that acknowledgement letter has arrived today by post.
